There has been considerable dispute
among yachtsmen as to the relative merits
of the Thistle and Volunteer before the
wind. So far as windward work is con-
cerned every one, of course, admits the
superiority of the Volunteer; but in the
two races for the Americas cup it was
difficult to compare the sailing of the two
yachts before the wind. The first half of
the course was beat to windward, and
the Volunteer got SO far ahead of the
Thistle when the stake boat was turned
that the sailing conditions of the two
boats were entirely different. For in
stance, in the second race the Volunteer
rounded the stake boat seventeen minutes
ahead of the Thistle, but at the finish she
was but twelve minutes ahead. It would
thus appear that on the return the Thistle
gained five minutes ON the Volunteer but
Capt Haff declares that as q matter Of
fact the distance between the two
boats at the finish was just as great as at
the turning point The difference in time,
he says, WAS due entirely to the increase
in the wind. The wind, which was blow
ing five or six miles faster at the finish
than it was at the turning point, of course,
enabled the Thistle 10 cover the distance
quicker than if the wind had not freshened.
Another reason, he says, is that the
Thistle had the benefit of the increasing
velocity of the wind, she being two miles
astern and of course felt it first
Mr.. Burgess, when he heard what
Capt. Haff said, thought there might be
some truth in it, but he was not prepared
to state positively that he considered the
Volunteer the faster boat before the wind.
Everybody is hoping now that there will
be race between the Thistle and either
the Mayfiower, Puritan, Atlantic or
Priscilla.

front of the bulletin boards in New York,
as illustrated in the cut that accom-
panies this article, showed that the in

International Copyright.

The English author who rails at our legis-
lators for refusing to bring about an interna-
tional copyright law has an equal grievance
against his own law makers, for they give
him as little protection in another way as ours
do. There is nothing in the English law, for
instance, by which the right to dramatize
novel can be reserved TO the author In this
country at least that much protection is given
writers, but in England amy one can produce
q dramatic version of published novel with
out let or hindrance. Constant litigation
takes place over this point, but it has always
resulted adversely to the author of the book.
A case of this kind has just been decided in
London. A popular novel was turned by its
author into play and became success. An
other person, seeing this, made O play from
the same source and produced it at another
theatre. Suit was instituted by the lady who
had purchased the play from the author Of
the book, but she was beaten, as it was GER
tain she would be. The only safeguard the
English novelist has is TO first write his story
rs O play, produce it and then issue his novel;
Under the English law lie Is thus protected
against any other stage version of the book
Charles Reade, that steady defender Of his
rights, was the first to discover this protective
technicality. But nearly all his books are
dramatic in their construction, anyway, or
are susceptible OF dramatic treatment. and

formally presented yet, but there is no
question that it will be. The name
of the man who proposes to try and
wrest the Americas cup away from
America is Mr.. Charles Sweet, young
marine lawyer, of New York and London.
He is Scotchman, born at Ayr, and is a
thorough yachtsman. He is member of
the New York Yacht club, but in view of
the challenge he will present he has re-
signed his membership. 1t is not neces-
sary for him to do this, but he thinks that
under the circumstances it will be the
proper thing for him to do. He is also
member of the Royal Clyde Yacht club
and the Royal Thames Yacht club The
challenge will probably come through the
latter club.
It is understood that the designer of the
new boat which Mr.. Sweet is to have
built will be Mr.. G. L. Watson, who de-
signed the Thistle Mr.. Sweet said in a
recent interviOav that he thought the
Thistle could be improved on in many
ways. He is in some doubt as to whether
the new boat will be of steel or wood, as
there are advantages about each material
not possessed by the other. She will, Of
course be @ keel boat, and will probably
be Of the second class, to rank with the
Titania and the Shamrock. Mr., Sweet is
of the opinion that it will be very hard to
build keel boat of the same size as
the Volunteer to outsan her in windward
work. The young lawyer is the owner of
that fast little craft the Clara, which Capt.
Barr sailed over the finishing line first on
several occasions. Capt. Barr will prob
ably command the new boat.
There has also been some talk about
challenge from Mr.. William Muir, of
Dumbarton, Scotland, the owner Of the
Mable. 1t is not improbable that he also
will challenge for the cup, but Mr.. Sweets
boat will probably have the preference,
but it may happen that the two boats will
race against each other for the honor of
challenging for the cup.

THE IRISH PATRIOTS.

Portraits and Sketches of Four National
Leaguers Now in America.
Arthur O'Connor, one of the Irish pa
triots now in America, may be regarded
as Mr.. Parnell's special envoy to the
United States; he is the intensely practi-
cal man of the Irish league. Born in 1914,
in London, while his parents, Kerry peo-
pie, were temporarily there, he is famil-
lar with both islands, and an earnest
and able worker for home rule. He is un-
usually well informed in matters of public
administration, having spent sixteen years
as a clerk in the war office. He is Of me-
dunn height, spare in person and re-
markably fair; his manner is grave, his
address calm and his success i'll parlia-
ment is due, not to oratory, but to perfect
mastery of the subject and power to put
keen, incisive questions.
Sir Thomas Henry Grattan Esmonde,
also now in America, belongs to the mid
die class aristocracy of Ireland, owning an
estate of some value, with rental barely
sufficient when his tenants can pay it, to
sustain the position of n modest gentle
man. His father, Sir John Esmonde, was
member of parliament for Waterford for
twenty-five years; his mother was q
daughter of Henry Grattan and grand
daughter of the noted Irish orator and
statesman, the Henry Grattan of 17775-95.
The young man was born Sept. 81, 1862,
and from his earliest years has been u
thorough Irish patriot.
Edmund Dwyer Gray, the third of the
trio, is but Al years DID, yet he has been
an active worker for twentv-one years
and an Irish leader most of the time. His
father, DR.. John Gray, was for over forty
years the editor of The Freeman's journal,
of Dublin; he was the personal friend and
ardent co-worker of Daniel O'Oonnell. the
supporter of the tenant league movement
of 1854-5, and the prime mover in the
reform of the Dublin municipal govern
ment, for which last work he was knighted
by the queen. When he died in 1874 the
son stepped at once into his place ON Tho
Freemans Journal and succeeded to his
leadership. After being mayor of Dublin
he entered parliament in 1875 as member
for Tipperary.
Michael Davitt, also now in America, is
already well known to Americans. He
was born in 1916, in County Mayo, and his
father, small farmer, was evicted by the
landlord when Michael was but 4 years
old. His early years were spent in toll

SENATOR HAWLEY's SWEETHEART.


Miss Edith A HOrner, q Noted English
Nurse.
Senator Joseph r. Hawley is going to
get married and the sentimental public is
nightly interested in the matter, for the
case has all the elements of q romance.
Not only is the lady an object of great
personal interest and q real heroine-a
woman with a history-but the acquaint-
ance and courtship was in midocean, on
European voyage. Of course the groom
in such cases is of no consequence, even if
he is senator or president; the public
wants to know all about the prospective
bride, and in this case there is quite
enough of character and incident.
Miss Edith A. Horner is an English
woman but 80 years old, and yet as an
organizing nurse she has won great
honors. After achieving some reputation
as hospital organizer in England, she was
chosen director Of nurses to accompany
Gen. Wolseley in his Zulu campaign.
There her bravery and ability, her gentle
ness and still more her endurance and de-
votion to duty were SO conspicuous and
valuable that she received high honors
and was awarded medals by various socie-
ties. A surprising fact is that she re-
turned from this arduous campaign with
health and strength almost unimpaired,
and is today notable for her youthful ap-
pearance and clear, rosy complexion.
She is above the medium height, with
good figure, gray-blue eyes and light
chestnut hair, slightly inclined to curl.
Her face and manner are quite attractive.
Gen. Hawley met her during his visit to
England last summer, and their engage
ment was formally concluded and an
nounced during the constitutional centen-
NAL at Philadelphia.

MOONLIGHT ON THE WATERS.

The Widespread Fondness for Rowing and
Sailing ON Elmo Nights.
s'What is the matter with the moonlight
excursions nowadays?" q reporter asked of an
East river pilot the other day while on the
way down the Harlem river. "A few years
ago they were all the rage"
"They are just as popular now as ever be-
fore, )" returned the pilot, "but people prefer
to enjoy them in small boats. Rowing by
moonlight is growing in favor more and more
every year. The time once was when boat
houses along the river and shores of the bay
closed their doors at sundown, but now some
of them never open until that hour. The
reasons for this are many. Aquatics have
stronger place in the hearts Of the people now
than ever before; more people know how to
handle these small craft nowadays than
they did few years ago; women
are more fond Of the water than
formerly, and they make their husbands,
brothers or friends take them out for row
on pleasant evenings. Then, again, it is no
longer considered improper to GO out upon
the river with lady after dark. It is always
cool in the evening, and the illumination of
the waters in and around New York is such
at the present time that the darkness exists

MINNEAPOLIS LABOR TEMPLE.
When this city was first chosen as the
meeting place of the General Assembly of
the Knights of Labor it was intended
that the delegates should be assembled in
the handsome brick structure now in
course, of erection, to be known as the
Labor Temple. But the building was not
finished in time to allow the meetings to
be held there, and the large Washington
rink, capable of seating 20, 900 people, was
secured in which to hold the opening ses.
sion and entertainment; the business
meetings were held in Harmonic hall.
The evening of the opening day was
vevoted to a general entertainment Of the
disiting delegates at the Washington rink.

dent A. j. Streeter, of the Farmers alli-
ance, delivered addresses, the former
upon the subject, ''The World as Knight
